MIIIers' COmpIalHss.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The inter
state commerce commission decided to
hear representatives of trans-conti-
mental railroads on Thursday OF this
week upon application for a suspension
of the long and short haul feature of
the interstate commerce law. The COM
mission replied to Davis Furs, preSi-
dent of the st. Louis Miliers' associa-
ton, praying for relief against discrim-
mating rates on -four from Minneapo-
lis under the transit" system, which
is alledged to preclude mills south or
east of Minneapolis from competing
with that place for domestic or foreign
trade. The commission does not un-
derstand the petition to complain OF
rates established under the Interstate
commerce law, but on the contrary
comedies the new rates reason
able as compared with those from St.
Louis. The complaint is that there Is
on hand large accumulation of s'tran-
sits which must control rates until
worked of and that as consequences
the new rates are ineffective except
as applied to local points between Mn
neapofis and Chicago. Thus while the
tariff is thirty-six cents per barrel
